Winter Yoga Retreat

Yanada is a beautiful bush retreat, nestled in a green valley between the McDonald River and the Yengo mountains. The perfect location to unwind, rest and rejuvenate.  There's plenty of free-time so you can explore the river or the ridge, swim in the pool, swing in the hammock, visit St Albans, read, sleep - whatever you need! You can also book in a massage with Vic or a Kinesiology/Mind Body Medicine session with Michelle (for an additional fee). Take this opportunity to invest in your health and wellbeing.

According to the Chinese five elements theory the seasons are governed by fire, water, earth, wood and metal. Winter is ruled by the water element and is about going within, finding strength in stillness, using this stillness to gain a greater understanding of self and learning how to navigate the world in an authentic way. Our retreat activities will include:

• Yin and Restorative Yoga to quieten the mind and help re-set the nervous system

• Breathwork and meditation sessions to help cultivate stillness

• Group sessions designed to enable you to recognise, express and bring to life your innermost dreams. We'll look at what they are, what's holding you back, and how to move forward.

• Campfires and indoor fire places to stay cozy warm and share connection and stories and using flame to ritually burn away what's no longer serving us.

• Yogalates and Yoga flow classes that work with the Water Element - concentrating on strengthening, stretching and increasing range of motion - particularly along the spine and back of the body.

• Music, sound and dance

• Cacao ceremony
